Features Explained

1. Key Features

Capture all your exciting experiences with tough and reliable performance anywhere — be it by the water, in the snow, or even underwater

When you’re having fun outdoors or on vacation, the last thing you want to worry about is keeping your camera safe. With the COOLPIX W150, you won’t have to. That’s because it’s waterproof to a depth of 10 m/33 ft, shockproof to withstand falls of up to 1.8 m/5.9 ft, dustproof and cold-resistant down to -10ºC/14ºF. So whether you or your children accidentally splash it with water at the pool, get it covered with sand on the beach, or drop it unexpectedly during travel, it can carry on taking great photos — and of course, underwater photography is also possible. In addition, you can shoot high-quality images unrestricted by the charging/storage capacity of smart devices.

Ready to take the plunge

This camera lets you capture a lot more of your experiences, even underwater. The [Shoot under water] function applies appropriate image processing for shooting underwater, while the [Underwater face framing] function automatically detects people’s faces underwater and takes pictures of them, meaning you can photograph of your kids without submerging your own face when they dive beneath the surface. What’s more, the newly employed [Add clarity under water] editing function corrects the blue color of an image taken underwater to make subjects more beautiful and clear.

Dressed to impress

The camera’s gently curved body looks stylish while being comfortable to hold. A recessed area around the lens barrel leaves plenty of space for your fingers. The large shutter-release button for stills and movie-record button for movies are separately located and raised for easy access. Also, the four large flexible buttons on the back of the camera are arranged to ensure easy-to-understand and intuitive operation. User-friendly GUI enables smooth operation by both children and adults alike. And with a range of different colors and patterns available (color selection varies according to region) — complete with color-coordinated buttons — there’s a design to match every taste. Cute pop colors and the patterns of “Resort”, “Flower” and “Orange” are newly added to the ever-popular “White” and “Blue”, to suit a wide range of user preferences.

High-quality images easily taken and shared

The COOLPIX W150 puts the shots you want within easy reach. Its 3x optical zoom gets you closer to the action without any loss of image quality, while 6xsup{sup(*1)} Dynamic Fine Zoom (up to approx. 180 mm in 35mm format) extends the range even further electronically. You can also approach subjects as close as approx. 5 cm (2 in.) from the front surface of the protective glass. Thanks to the camera’s 13.2 effective megapixels delivered with the CMOS image sensor, aided by the high-performance NIKKOR lens, high-quality images with rich details can be photographed. The vibration reduction (VR) function and Target Finding AF that support the capture of clear and sharply focused subjects also enhance the enjoyment of mistake-free shooting. Your taken images can be easily transferred to smart devices for sharing via the SnapBridge{sup(*2)} app.

Eye-catching effects made easy

The COOLPIX W150 makes advanced techniques amazingly simple, with 18 different shooting modes that let you change your style according to your subject. The new [Picture-in-picture] function makes your images appear as if a picture that was taken on an instant print camera is placed in front of the background of another picture. Other options include dedicated settings for photographing food and adding special effects like bubbles and mirror to your pictures.

Bring a touch of magic to your images

After taking a picture, you can continue having fun with it. The newly added functions include [Add a “little planet” effect] that lets you make a landscape look like a small planet and [Curve pictures] that makes the image rounder. There are a total of 15 functions{sup(*)} to make your images much more fun and attractive. You can add a decorative frame around images with a selection of ten frames which are all newly designed. In addition, cute stamps including hearts, stars, ribbons and more can be placed onto images. Your images can also be combined to create one-of-a-kind collages that are perfect for sharing.
